Milwaukee-area Catholics gathered Saturday evening at a parish on the northwest side with a message of support for LGBTQ people.
The Rev. Greg Greiten, who is openly gay himself, organized the "LGBTQ Mass of Celebration and Inclusion" because it was important for the community to feel welcome in the church, he said.
"My first words are: I love you. You are loved. You are beloved. You are holy. You are made in the image of God," he said at the start of his homily.
The Mass and subsequent reception at St. Bernadette Parish drew about 100 people, including a handful of young people, who were eager to remain in the Catholic faith while also pushing for change.
Hailey Hable, 22, of Milwaukee spoke during the homily about struggling to accept herself as a transgender person while enrolled at an all-boys Catholic boarding high school. She considered suicide but found strength in her faith, she said.
It was important to share her story because, she said, she now had the opportunity to help others feel welcomed and accepted.
"I had never felt that way growing up," she said.
Married couple Deborah and Kim Cavaliero-Keller, who also spoke at the Mass, believe it is their mission to create a more inclusive environment for LGBTQ people in the Catholic Church.

Blasphemy
Yes it is: IF you repent and give up your perversion.
Not at all ambiguous.

Do progressive Catholics accept the sins of thieves, murderers, embezzlers ,and anyone who beats up gays??????Are they for all inclusivity or is it all a fraud??????
Leviticus 18:22
Romans 1:26,27

Don’t know what cult it is, but it ain’t Catholic.
Indeed.
Now, repent! Quit staining that image with a lifestyle of mortal sin!
It’s all a fraud.
Yet I’m told that the rcc is so unified, lol!
“Don’t know what cult it is, but it isn’t Catholic.”
Yet when I say that some protestant heretical denomination is wrong, I’m not allowed to disown it, can you say hypocrite!
Then you should behave in accordance with the eternal truths taught by the Church.
The church is the rightful home of all sinners. Those who are unrepentant will find little consolation however. And that will not be the fault of the Church..
I recall something about “...an abomination and should be stoned...”.
